Smiles and Rides

"May I come in?"

"Yes Aragorn"

"I was wondering when you would awake."

"I don't feel so good."

"I shall go get Elrond."

"No, no I am fine!"

But Aragorn was already gone, and he returned soon with Elrond beside him.

"Whats wrong?"

"Its just my throat hurts and I have a light pain in my stomach, nothing too bad."

Gandalf then walked into the room as Elrond was examing my stomach.

"Just a bit of rest and you will be fine."

"Elrond you no rest will do her no good, I mean she is an -"

"I didn't think we were going to tell her gandalf"

"tell me what?!"

"If you want to tell her, tell her"

And then Elrond left the room. Aragorn looked as stunned as Katriana.

"Katriana, your mother was an elf.'

"So I'm half elven?"

"So thats why shes such a good runner and archer."

She didn't say anything. she was stunned, an elf!

Elrond came back with a glass in his hand.

"This will help your throat."

She then slept. For a little amount of time but still when seh awoke the pain was gone. She could hear a soft music playing and looked over to see Lueaha playing an elven instrument.

"Thats beautiful."

"Sorry, didn't mean to wake you. I thought it would soothe you. Feeling better?"

"Fine physically, i'm not sure i am alright mentally. Who told you I was not feeling well? I thought i heard you outside when i was falling asleep."

"I heard them speaking, I may be a human but ive worked hard, and am quite skilled with many things, even hearing."

"A human, surely you are an elf."

She removed her hood for only a second to show that her ears were not elven. The hood went abruptly back on and she smiled a warm smile.

"You have many elven skills to, i did not play untill you were asleep, but you still heard me."

Then Aragorn saw her awake and came into the room.

"Hello Lueaha, Katriana, are you feeling well?"

"Fine thank you Aragorn. Would you acompient me on a walk, I'd like to streach my legs out."

"I'd love to."

"I shall leave you two alone then."

lueaha left the room and walked down to the rivers edge and contined playing.

"One moment, I need to change."

"Of course."

"Its quite nice here."

"It is always nice here, I have never seen bad weather."

"Would you like to go for a ride?"

"A ride or a race? do you wish to beat me again?"

"We will start riding, if it turns out to racce that will only be your fault."

"Mine?"

"When i hear people talking of races I can always expect to see Aragorn and Katriana."

"Gandalf, you know i love racing."

"Yes and now that you have found someone to beat-"

"She doesn't always beat me!"

"I have both times we have raced!"

"Thats only two times."

"I can beat you on the ground too."

"I know you speak the truth but i will be close behind."

"Doubt it."

And they started off at a run. Katriana was much faster than Aragorn and was waiting for Aragorn at the stable.

"A good effort Aragorn."

"What does a good effort get me?"

"A kiss?"

"I would expect more."

"Do you want the kiss or not?"

"I would love a kiss from you."

She bent over him and gave him a soft kiss upon the lips. It was soft and lovely. He smiled and mouted Sorontos.

"Get on"

"How can we race if we are on the same horse?"

"Thats the point."

She laughed and mounted behind him. Aragorn kicked Sorontos into a canter. He offered his waist for her to hold onto, but she only accepted to be nice, she could easily stay on without him. They rode for what seemed for hours, and they were spotted everywhere in rivendell by everyone. Most people just smiled but Gandalf and Elrond could help but laugh at the succeding plan.
